Estimating Spreadsheets

Automating Your Spreadsheet Document : What is Excel VB? Microsoft Excel is a powerful tool for recording, organising/re_organising, analysing and presenting information. By Excel VB, I refer to Excel VBA _ where VBA means Visual Basic for Applications(VBA). VBA refers to the highly extensive and flexible macro programming language developed by Microsoft for use in their MS office applications _ Word, Power Point, etc.

The visiting head of the technical function only needed to look at the most recently plotted point on the chart (relative to preceding ones) for a Key Performance Indicator like.

Discussions would then take place based on identified "Exceptions"(which could be "good" e.g. savings made or "bad" e.g. monetary loss due to materials over_used), and "Actions To Be Taken" to correct or maintain observed performances agreed upon.

I believe the foregoing are compelling justifications for choosing Excel Visual Basic over Visual Basic.

It's not enough to have a professional with the technical skills to solve your problem. s/he also needs to have the right attitude and background/experience _ else the relationship will not work. This is where an Excel VB resource is more likely to add value to you. Most Excel VB Developers have backgrounds in management, accounting, engineering and other fields, which further equips them to be useful to you in "thinking up" better ways to apply your spreadsheet automation to get the most value for your business. You therefore need to choose the right developer, with the appropriate background to match your needs.
